The A. T. Stewart of Chicago.

Marshall Field, who is known in almost
every part Of the globe as Chicago's
merchant prince" is very handsome
gentleman, tall and well built, nearly
90 years old, extremely content with his
lot, with mustauche which is beginning
to turn gray. Mr.. Field is native of
Massachusetts,, and went to Chicago
when about rs years old with little or no
money. He found employment as a
salesman in dry goods house, and
from the start displayed genius for the
business. Before very long he became
q partner in the house of Palmer, Far
we'll & Co. A few years after this his
whole capital was wiped out by a gen.
eral falling off in the value of dry goods.
His superior ability soon brought him
again to the front, and he formed a
partnership with Mr.. Letter. Before
many years the name of this firm was
known in commercial circles all over the
world. After the two gentlemen had
made several millions, Mr.. Lister, who
was fond OF society, retired, and since
then Mr.. Field has conducted the estab.
lishment alone. A prominent New York
merchant says his house was the most
thoroughly organized of any similar es-
in the world. Mr. Field
still works as hard as ever, giving per-
sonal attention to his business and his
extensive railroad and other interests.
It is said that he has resolved not to
retire until he is as rich as A. T. Stewart

AlligatCrS in the Eyerclades.

The alligator, which has been nearly
exterminated in many localities, exists
in vast numbers in the Florida Ever
g!ades and environs, writes William
Hosea Ballou in Harper's Weekly. In
many places these animals follow the
canoe or other craft penetrating the
grassy streams. At such times they re-
semble a flotilla, and are spoken of as a
'fotilla of alligators." Sometimes they
will approach canoe and "nose" it
with evident curiosity. If in the path
of the canoe. or lying along its course,
they will dive under it and join the
flotilla in the. rear. They are totally oh.
livious to firearms, and evidently take
no notice of their members which have
been shot and arc writhing in death
agonies. No doubt adventurous spirits
will some day find here fertile field for
which are now in fair
demand,

The Gulf Stream.

The fact is we'll understood, of course,
that Great Britain and other parts o.
northwestern Europe owe much in the
matter OF climate and temperature, to
the warming influence Of the Gulf
Stream. Tie extent of the effect which
is thus produced. according to the cal
culations made by d.. Croli, almost cx-
coed belief, or even comprehcn sion, in a
mathematical sense. lie has found, by o
careful scientific estimate, that the
amount of heat conveyed northward in
the Atlantic by this stream is equivalent
to u. 479, $50, coo. 900. 900 foot pounds of
energy per day, which i, equal to all the

Mrs, Bccbc. the Ball, ami the Boys.

Mrs. Beebc, an elderly New London
lady, has been a good deal annoyed by
Inys who play foot ball in the street be-
fore her house. She had tried entreatles
and threats to no purpose, until the
other dav, when she had her innings.
In the course Of the game the boys
knocked the ball out of the bounds INTO
the ward attached to Mrs. Bcebe's resi-
dence, and before the spryest OF the lou
coull scale the fence and recover the
rubber sphere. Mrs Beebe had captured
it. and when demand wa made Tor Its
return she was deaf to ali forms OF en-
treaty. The boys made two or three IN
cf1ect,,al attempts TO soften Mrs. Beebes
great wrath for their previous bad con-
d,,ct. but she was adamant and the boys
were in a quandnry. After while they
held q mass meeting for dellberatlon on

divided into slb-Csmmlttees OF two,
whose duties should be il turn to make
half hourly calls on Mrs. Bcebe, and de-
mand the return of their football They
kept this up all day with little chance
OF success, apparently until late III the
day, when it became a mere question Of
endurance which of the adverse parties
should prevail. For brute strength the
boys had the call, and at O'Clock Mrs.
Beebe surrendered and threw up the
ball, to paraphrase term in use in

In company with one OF its Librarians
l lately took walk through its var.o.s
parts, and spent nearly u halliday wlnd-
ing in and out through aisle after aisle,
and wall after wall of books, picking my
way between great stacks OF volumes
and entering room after room which the
eve of the ordinary visitor never sees.
The Natlo.al Library is at the west end
Of the great Capitol. Its thousands OF
! volumes have long since overlooked Its
. capacity, until now every available inch
OF space is utilized, and every room in
the vicinity is stacked with books.
The very floors of the L brary are
piled up with overflow, and the shelves
seem almost bursting with their tightly
packed contents. The Library proper,
which is also the readiny-room, consists
of long hall Like room with wings at
each crd iutting off ike the head OF a
r. The reading-room is ninety one feet
l,ng, thirty-one feet wide, and thirty four
ieet high. Its walls are made W
J of rectangular alcoves, each about the
size of small hall bedroom, and shut
off from the room by a door of iron ht
tice-work. The walls of these alcoves
are filed with books, and there are thret
galleries Of them rising one above AM
other. In the front Of the upper gat
leries are balustraies, aad these have
also been lined on the inside with book
shelves, so that as you walk along tn
narrow galleries you almost gaze tn
books on either side.
The wings at the ends are fitted u

almost always full of readers, and o.
Saturdays the crowd is so great tbs
many do their reading while standing
